No gallop

What does "No gallop" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.

Explanation

"No gallop" in the context of medicine refers to the absence of a specific type of heart sound. Normally, the heart makes two sounds as it beats, but sometimes, due to certain health conditions, it can make an extra third or fourth sound. These additional sounds are called gallops because they resemble the sound of a galloping horse. So, when a doctor says "no gallop," it means that these extra heart sounds are not present, which is a good sign.
